Routine Maintenance

The fitness center is a significant investment that should provide your users with rewarding and pleasant experiences. The best way to protect users is through Preventative Maintenance. Broken equipment is aesthetically unpleasing and can be unsafe. Whether your fitness equipment is new or used, it needs to be maintained. Lack of performing periodic maintenance requirements will result in failure and costly repairs. Maintenance improves equipment performance and assures safety. Preventative Maintenance Programs allow the certified equipment technician to inspect, test, lubricate, diagnose, calibrate and clean equipment on a regular schedule.
